sents in horizontal position a shelf adapted to serve as a support for the infant.

In describing the invention in detail, reference is herein had to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of the invention showing the cover lowered to open position; and

Figure 2 is a front elevation of the same, showing it mounted in a recess provided therefor in the wall of a room.

Referring to said drawing, 1 designates the bottom, 2 the top and 3 the ends of a rectan-' gular box-like casing adapted for mounting in permanent, or fixed, position either upon a wall 4 or in a recess provided therefor between the studding 28 of such wall. Hinged to the bottom 1 is an edge of a front cover 5 which is vertically movable from upright closing relation to the front of the casing to the horizontal position shown in the drawings.

Pivotally mounted within the lower part of the casing, as upon a horizontal rod 6 which has its opposite ends mounted on the end walls 3 of the casing, is the rear edge portion of a metallic frame 7 of rectangular form upon which is stretched a covering 8 of fabric, as canvas or oilcloth. Each of the opposite outer end portions of said frame has pivotally attached thereto, as at 9, an end of one of two pivotally connected and relatively foldable arms 10 and 11, the other arm of which is pivotally mounted, as at 12, upon the interior of the adjacent end wall 3 of the cabinet.

Additional support for said frame is afforded by pivoted links 13 interposed between said frame and brackets 14 carried by the adjacent face of the cover 5, as is best shown in Fig. 1, said links being disposed in upright position when the cover 5 and the frame 7 occupy horizontal positions.

Pivotally mounted on the rear wall 15 of the casing at a suitable point is a ring lo'designed, in a horizontalposition, to receive thereon the rim of a washbowl 17, as shown. Said ring preferably has an integral'arm pivotally attached to a bracket-18, so as to be foldable upward to the dotted line 2 when not in use.
